/declare
 begin
      dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE(
      command => 'CONNECT'
      ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'

      ,enabled => 'Y');
 commit;
end;/

and change the line that is indicated in bold:

/declare
 begin
      dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE(
      command => 'CONNECT'
      ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'
      ,object_owner => '%'
      ,object_name => '%'
      ,enabled => 'Y');
 commit;
end;/

1.5.2.2 Restrictions on Specific Browsers

1.5.2.2.1 Java Plugin for Discoverer Plus Not Downloaded Automatically on Firefox

When you attempt to connect to Discoverer Plus by using the Mozilla Firefox browser on a computer that does not have Java 1.6 installed, Firefox does not download the JRE 1.6 plug-in automatically. Instead, Firefox displays the following message: "Additional plugins are required to display this page..."

The workaround is to download the JRE 1.6 plug-in by clicking the Install Missing Plugin link to install it manually.

1.5.2.3 Process to Install and Configure WebCenter With 32-bit JDK on Supported 64-Bit Platform

For WebCenter 11g Release 1, the following platform has been verified with 32-bit JDK:

Solaris Sparc:

32-bit Sun JDK 1.6.0_11+

To install and configure WebLogic Server with 32-bit JDK perform the following steps:

Install the supported 32-bit JDK

Export the 32-bit JDK environment. For example:

export JAVA_HOME=/scratch/aime/jdk1.6.0_11
export PATH=/scratch/aime/jdk1.6.0_11/bin:$PATH

Run the WebLogic Server generic installer to install WebLogic Server with 32-bit JDK:
```
java -jar  wls1031_generic.jar
```
Install WebCenter with the required 64-bit JDK. Unzip the shiphome and go to Disk1, then invoke runInstaller command with -jreLoc pointing to the 64-bit JDK. For example:
```
./runInstaller -jreLoc /scratch/aime/jdk1.6.0_11/jre
```
Run the configuration script to create the WebCenter Domain:
```
$ORACLE_HOME/common/bin/config.sh
```
Provide the 32-bit JDK location while running the configuration script. After the domain is configured with 32-bit JDK, no further updates are required.
